On this rainy (!!!) day, we had the distinct pleasure of hosting our Summer SOULstice Wellness Retreat & Market at dynamicmovementtherapeutics, a gorgeous private wellness studio in Brooklawn offering massage therapy, personal training, and one-on-one movement sessions designed to help you feel your best and unlock your body’s full potential.

We kicked off the afternoon of self-care with yoga and a sound bath led by the incredible Abigail | The Align Collective | Yoga • Pilates • Sound Healing, followed by a curated marketplace featuring a juice bar, flower bar, mini facials or manual lymphatic drainage massages, raffle entries, and gift bags to take home.

Attendees also had the opportunity to shop from an incredible lineup of local vendors offering tarot readings, a tea apothecary, a mobile charm bar, sustainable home goods, body products, bath robes, grip towels, More Than Mothers crop tops (“Powerful Women Raise Powerful Futures”), and so much more. We were also joined by a wonderful local therapist specializing in motherhood, PMADs, trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting neurodiverse children, infertility and loss, and s*x therapy for new parents.

Thank you to every vendor who shared your talents, every attendee who chose to prioritize yourself today, and everyone who spent the afternoon building community with us. (And a special thank you to Jersey Kebab for keeping us well-fed!)
It was such a special day—one I’ll remember for a long time to come.

And an extra special shoutout to the women who worked tirelessly to bring this event to life: dynamicmovementtherapeutics, Kaneko Emilia Stokes, Kionna, South Jersey Massage Therapist, and Abigail | The Align Collective | Yoga • Pilates • Sound Healing. None of this would have been possible without you.

The U.S. teen birth rate dropped another 7% in 2025, continuing a decades-long decline, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 126,000 babies were born to mothers ages 15–19, with the rate falling dramatically from 61.8 births per 1,000 teens in 1991 to just 11.7 today. Overall U.S. birth rates also dipped slightly, while cesarean deliveries reached their highest level since 2013.

Experts say the decline is likely driven by lower teen pregnancy rates, increased contraception use, reduced s*xual activity, and access to abortion care. While many view the trend as positive, researchers stress the importance of continuing support for teen parents, noting that outcomes often depend more on societal support systems than age alone.

Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for California governor after facing s*xual assault and misconduct allegations that rapidly derailed his bid. Although he denies the claims and says he will fight them personally, the controversy led to a swift loss of political support, with key allies, endorsers, and staff distancing themselves or calling for him to drop out.

His exit significantly reshapes an already crowded and uncertain race, removing a top-tier Democratic contender and potentially shifting dynamics ahead of the primary. The situation also adds pressure on his position in Congress, where he now faces additional scrutiny as investigations into the allegations continue.

Rainy days can affect mood by disrupting key brain chemicals like serotonin and melatonin, which help regulate energy, sleep, and emotional balance. This can lead to lower motivation, fatigue, and even feelings of sadness or anxiety—especially when cloudy weather persists. However, not everyone experiences rain the same way; for some, it can feel calming and restorative, while for others it may amplify existing stress or loneliness.

Experts suggest leaning into gentle, mood-supporting habits to counter these effects. Engaging in indoor hobbies, staying socially connected, maintaining routines, and getting some natural light—even briefly—can help stabilize your mood. Movement, cooking, and reframing rain as a peaceful, slower-paced opportunity can also boost emotional well-being. Small, intentional shifts in how you spend rainy days can turn them from draining to restorative.
